DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, but it should be understood that the scope of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments.

The term “comprise”, or variations thereof such as “comprises” or “comprising” throughout the specification and claims, will be understood to imply the inclusion of a stated element or component but not the exclusion of other elements or components, unless expressly stated otherwise.

FIGS. 1 and 2 show the structure of the undergarment 100 first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the undergarment 100 includes a brassiere part 1. The brassiere part 1 includes cups 11 and wings 12 fixedly connected to the cup 11 for laterally surrounding the user. A rubber strip 2 is formed on the edge of the cup 11 and/or the wings 12.

The undergarment 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided with the adhesive strip 2 on the edge of the cup 11 and/or the wing(s) 12. The adhesive strip 2 is less elastic than the cloth of the undergarment 100 itself, so that the adhesive strip 2 can tighten the edges of the cup 11 and/or the wings 12. Therefore, the edges of the undergarment 100 can fit the human body more closely. With this arrangement, on the one hand, after the undergarment 100 of the present invention is put on, the tightened edges make the undergarment 100 less likely to shift, thereby effectively improving the comfort and safety of the undergarment 100. On the other hand, the adhesive strip 2 formed on the edge of the belt 12 can also have a good lifting effect on the breasts of women, so that the undergarment 100 of the present invention can also have a shaping effect. In addition, the adhesive strip 2 can be made in transparent or other colors, so that it will not affect the overall aesthetics of the undergarment 100, but also can play a better decorative effect to a certain extent, thereby further improving the aesthetics of the undergarment 100.

FIG. 3 shows the structure of the undergarment 100 according to a second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the undergarment 100 further includes an underpants part 3. The underpants part 3 includes a trouser body 31, left and right openings 4 formed on both sides of the trouser body 31 for the user's legs to pass through, and a waist part 33 formed above the trouser body 31 for laterally surrounding the user. The adhesive strip 2 is further formed on the edge of the openings 4 and/or the waist part 33. Due to the fact that the elasticity of the adhesive strip 2 is less than the cloth of the undergarment 100 itself (therefore less than the openings 4 and/or the waist part 33), it can be seen that the adhesive strip 2 formed on the edge of the opening 4 and/or waist 33 can tighten the edge of the opening 4 and/or waist 33, so that the opening 4 and/or waist 33 can fits the body better. Therefore, when men or women wear the underpants 3, the tightened edges can effectively prevent the underpants 3 from shifting, so that the underpants 3 can be worn with higher security.

It should be noted that the “left and right” in the specification should be understood as the left and right directions of the human body when the user uses the underpants 31 normally.

Preferably, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a plurality of parallel adhesive strips 2 may be formed at intervals on the edges of the belt 12 and/or waist 33. A plurality of parallel adhesive strips 2 formed at the edge of the wings 12 and/or waist part 33 can effectively improve the tightening strength of the wings 12 and/or waist part 33. Due to the fact that the traditional wings 12 and/or waist part 33 are prone to displace, according to the arrangement of the present invention, the fixing and attachment effect of the wings 12 and/or the waist 33 can be further improved, thereby further improving the safety and aesthetics of the undergarment 100 of the present invention.

Preferably, in the first embodiment of the undergarment 100 as shown in FIG. 1, two parallel strips 2 may be formed on the edge of the wings 12 at intervals.

FIGS. 4 and 5 show the structure of the undergarment 100 according to another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the undergarment 100 further includes an underpants part 5 integrally formed with the brassiere part 1, and a side of the underpants part 5 away from the brassiere part 1 is provided with a left opening 4 and a right opening 4 for the user's legs to pass through. The adhesive strip 2 is formed on the edge of the opening 4. As stated above, the adhesive strip 2 formed on the edge of the opening 4 can tighten the edge of the opening 4, so that the opening 4 can fit the human body more closely, which can effectively prevent the underpants 3 from being moved. The problem of displacement thus can be avoided when the underpants 5 are put on.

Preferably, as shown in FIGS. 1, 3 and 5, a single adhesive strip 2 can be formed on the edge of the cup 11 and/or the opening 4. The cup 11 and/or the opening 4 are the positions where the displacement is generally small. Therefore, a single adhesive strip 2 is usually enough to meet the tightness requirement of the edges of the cup 11 and/or the opening 4 and fit the human body more closely. The single adhesive strip 2 can also avoid the problem of forming a large contact area with the human body. Too large contact area may generate tightening marks on the surface of the human body and affect the appearance.

In the preferred embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the cup 11, the wings 12 and the underpants part 5 can all be formed by connecting the front patch 6 and the back patch 7, and the adhesive strip 2 is formed on both the front patch and the back patch 7. The front patch 6 and the back patch 7 are fixed by means of adhesive bonding, so that the cup 11, the wings 12 and the underpants part 5 are integrally formed into one-piece undergarment. It should be noted that, according to the embodiment of the undergarment 100 of the present invention shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the brassiere part 1 and the underpants 5 are integrally formed, so that the cup 11 and the wings 12 of the brassiere part 1 should be understood as the area located in the corresponding position of the female body. Of course, the corresponding area can also be determined according to the position of the adhesive strip 2.

Preferably, in the embodiment of the undergarment 100 as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the adhesive strips 2 at the wings formed on the front patch 6 and the back patch 7 may be three strips and they are arranged at intervals and parallel with one another.

Preferably, as shown in FIG. 4, the adhesive strip 2 formed on the wings 12 may be configured as an arc-shaped strip 21 that can be used to lift the chest. Preferably, as shown in FIG. 4, the arc-shaped adhesive strip 21 may include two symmetrically arranged arc-shaped sections 211, and the arc-shaped section 211 is bent toward the direction of the underpants 5. With this arrangement, when the undergarment 100 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 is put on, the arc-shaped section 211 of the arc-shaped strip 21 can fit the curve of the female chest, thereby having a certain shaping effect. The undergarment according to the present invention therefore makes the female body more attractive.

In a preferred embodiment, the adhesive strip 2 can be processed by hot melt extrusion. Preferably, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the undergarment 100 may further include a shoulder strap 8, and the shoulder strap 8 may be configured to be glued or fixed along its width onto the brassiere part 1. The seam (not shown in the figure) of the shoulder strap 8 is located on the side of the shoulder strap 8 facing the human body, so as to further improve the aesthetics of the undergarment 100 after being worn.

Preferably, the shoulder strap 8 can be configured to be adjustable in length.
